romney, we passed the dream act 216-208. 55 u.s. senators stood up in the senate to pass the dream act. what the president did was the will of the people transmitted through their legislative body. you're just angry because we were able to get over your filibustering in the senate. >> eliot: that's exactly right. the interesting thing is the republican party at least those who are thinking about the future are rejecting mitt romney's view. they're saying this is a world view of the past. they know for the politics of the future and what some of them believe, they've gotta change their views. the dynamic is going to be different going forward i think. >> i think it is going to be. this morning, i saw my friend, congressman paul ryan. we talked a little bit this morning. you know what the first thing he reminded me, he said luis, i was a cosponsor of your original comprehensive immigration bill along with other republicans. we had a wonderful conversation. i'm not committing him to anything on this program. we had a wonderful conversa

but also for republicans who are hoping to pick up some seats in the u.s. senate. i'm here in the nation's capital where the face of congress is altered. let's start in the senate. democrats in control and gained seats. kind of amazing since at the start of the cycle everyone assumed they were going to lose control. in montana, in north dakota, both traditionally republican states, surprised wins for democrats. nbc declared montana for jon tester today and in north dakota democrat heidi heitkamp is the apparent winner. other big senate races, ted kennedy's old seat, flips back to blue with senator-elect elizabeth warren and wisconsin sends the first openly gay person to the senate, tammy baldwin and indiana a seat the gop flushed away with a far right candidate, mourdock. shifting gears to other side of the capitol, republicans hold the house and will see a small net loss when the results are in. why didn't the democrats come closer? think iowa's 3rd district tells the story. what was a fair fight. democrats needed to win races like this last night but they fell sh
